The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 44
SOPHIA “Oh! Sophie, how are you today?” Melissa feigned in a mellifluous voice grinning at me. The heaviness in my heart raised to a higher peak and my chest kept heaving, rising and falling slowly as I scowled at her. How dare she ask how I am today? She already made my day worse than ever by just seeing her when Damian refused to give me listening ears but she has come to see him and they will play together and chances are that they can make love together. I looked at her without saying a word, the pain in my heart was still there and the triumphant smile was still on her face as she curved the corner of her lips again into another smile. I felt the sudden urge to dig my manicure nails in her throat with her painted face and her wobbling breast but instead, I darted my eyes at her with so much bitterness. I didn't care if Damian was looking at us all the time we stood there. We stood for more than five minutes at the door. I don't care. If he likes, let him take me to be the ba
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 45
SOPHIA Hearing the voice made me close my eyes gently as I heaved letting my thoughts to a more calm place. I didn't need to look at who just spoke because I knew who it was. Even as I didn't look at him I was taken aback. What business does he have to do here? Or has he been following me up to know where I work as well? I wondered. Damian glared at him with his fists clenched by his sides. “Did my question rip off your tongue?” Mark said sneerily and the furious look on Damian's face became more stronger. “I ask again. What proof do you have to back that up?” He said calmly taking a few steps into the hall.Damian turned to us sitting around the table, “Everyone, leave!” He said huskily and immediately, murmuring filled the hall as they stood up to leave, each person talking to the other, their voices barely above a whisper.After a while, the hall was silent as the people Damian instructed to leave were gone. It was just us, Damian with Mark and Me with Authur and some other sec
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 46
MARK I wonder why sometimes people are so gullible. My partner keeps allowing himself to be fooled around by a woman who left him. And because of her, he has been ill-treating the kind-hearted one Melissa is using as the scapegoat. But how did Sophia agree to marry a man who treats her like a stranger? That I will ask her when she feels better. I guess if I bring up that now it will just make matters worse. As we were driving I asked her if I should take her to her husband's house since she said she was not working again but she said she doesn't want to go home now. Staying somewhere else or going with a stranger she doesn't know is better than going home since going to her husband's house will make her more emotional. So I guess we are going to my house then. She pleaded with me to stop by the coffee shop so she could grab a cup since she thought a cup of coffee would make her feel better. We stopped at the coffee shop as she demanded and we went in to get her a cup. She sat on t

SOPHIAAs we sat in the car not knowing where Mark was taking me, I cried till I couldn't cry anymore as I sat with my head placed on his chest and his arm wrapped around me. I didn't know when I gave in to the exhaustion and I drifted off to sleep. The next thing I felt was my head placed on a hard surface as I was held in bridal style. I resisted the urge to open my eyes and look at him and also where he was taking me since I had so much trust in him, he couldn't do anything silly.After a while of strutting with me in his hands, I heard the sound of a door creaking as it opened and he went in with me in his hands. I felt my back placed on a soft surface then my head laying calmly as well on the soft surface. I guess that was the bed he was laying me on. I felt my stilettos taken off from my feet and the next thing, stiff clothing covered my body and I writhed, turning to sleep on my side. I heard footsteps walking away from me and then the sound of the closing door. Immediately
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 48
SOPHIA What is she doing at home? I thought she would be busy with some work at her husband's company since I resigned. Didn't Damian give her a promotion? I don't forget how she walked to me the last time telling me she would make sure she took everything from me, including my life. She has just started work. Bad bitch! I cursed her inwardly seething.I stood glaring at her as my weak hand slowly closed the door. She stared at me snidely then the corner of her lips shifted into a smirk. I couldn't help myself but clenched my fists by my sides till my knuckles turned white as I stood blazing with expressed anger. All the happiness I had a moment ago crumbled to my feet at the sight of her. I glared at her as I nibbled at my lower lip terribly as I had millionaire questions in my heart to ask her, why she had been after my life. Why has she been tainting me at each chance she's got? I resisted the urge to do so and that only broke my heart to a thousand pieces when it occurred to m
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 49
SOPHIA For the past four days, Damian did not let a day pass without drinking himself to a mess and I am angry with him for doing so and also for not delving deep into issues before passing his final judgment. Why would Damian of all people let himself with all his wealth be deceived easily? If Melissa could run a background check to find more details about me, tell me why can't Damian do so for crucial matters. He is just so gullible. He is so blinded by Melissa. Seeing him drink himself to mess made me sad. Deep down I know I still care even though I am grumpy and reserved these days making sure I mind my business but it's hard for me.The day I slept away from home in Mark's house, it's been just me and Selena. After I felt better, I had a warm shower and got dressed in comfortable clothes before heading down to the dining room for dinner. I asked Selena if my husband had come home but she told me he hadn't. All through the dinner I wasn't comfortable, my instincts kept troubling
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 50
SOPHIA As I walked out of my room dressed in blue trouser jeans and a white top, my hair tied in a ponytail, the first person I met was Selena carrying breakfast to the dining table which I was sure was mine. These days I normally have my breakfast alone. Sometimes Selena will sit along with me as we chat. Although at first, I was kind of resistant to it, she kept on engaging me in conversations and I had no choice but to give in to it. I know she has been trying to show her concern for me which I appreciate a lot. I am getting used to talking to her alone in this big mansion and I don't care if Damian talks to me or not. The one thing that breaks my heart is I always see myself desperately craving for his attention which is what I hate.He talks to me though which is not more than greeting and the other is when I have done something wrong which he will mean to me. Still, I do crave his attention because I have been sleeping all alone to myself in the cold hands of the bed. I need h

DAMIANDamn it!!! It's been ten minutes past the time scheduled for the meeting with the new investors who showed interest in investing in my company and I am all alone in the boardroom. What's going on? I took out my cell phone from my pocket suit. I dialed Authur’s number and I placed the phone to my ear. He picked after a few rings. “Where the hell are you?” I growled. “Sorry Boss I just finished using the restroom and I will be with you right away," he said subserviently. "You better." I hung up. These new billionaires who are investing in my company their deals are worth millions of Dollars. I couldn't help but smile to myself at the thought of it.I got on from my seat and I trailed around the boardroom with my hand tucked in my pockets. I held footsteps and I turned around just to see Arthur strutting into the room with worry written all over his face. “What's going on?” I asked impatiently with my arms opened by my sides. He cringed his head in reply which got me more c

Mark sat in the waiting room at the hospital, dressed in black trouser pants, and a long-sleeved white crisp shirt. He placed his elbows at his knees and his hands clasped together under his chin. His face was nonchalant with a glimpse of emotions coated in his eyes. Even though he looked relaxed and calm, his heart lingered with unease because of the situation at hand. After a moment of basking in his thoughts, A tall figure trudged into the room, calling his attention. Mark lifted his gaze in that direction. The man he saw was the very person he didn't have the patience to wait for anymore. Mark sprung to his feet, his heart slightly pounding in his chest and his breathing was palpable. “How is she?" He asked with concern, his eyes widened at the doctor as he swallowed hard.The doctor smiled, tucking his hands in the pockets of his lab coat. “Gentleman, your wife is in good condition after childbirth.” Mark sighed in relief, “Ah!" “W-What about the baby?" He stuttered, his gaze

For more than a year after Sophia was happily wedded to Mark, Sophia slept on the bed. In Between her back which leaned at the headboard was a soft pillow. her big tummy pointed outward. A quilt covered her fresh and smooth legs which she had covered since last night. The early morning sun shone into the bedroom from the floor-to-ceiling windows which made the gleaming room brighter. Her face locked on her phone screen as she perused through it casually, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. Her phone chimed as a message dropped in her WhatsApp. It was a message from Selena, [Ma'am it's good to see you have gained your happiness.] Sophia had been chatting with her since she woke up from bed. She had been in talks with Selena and she promised to bring her over to work in her company. Sophia replied, [ Be prepared to come over to the UK whenever I say so]Immediately she sent the message, Sophia off the phone. Her face stared nonchalantly at the screen for a while as she was d

“I-I d-didn't m-m-mean to push you. I didn't know it was you," Jimmy stuttered, his body trembling the most. The thought of losing his job scared the sh*t out of him. “Don't you know she is my woman?" Jimmy nodded at the same time he shook his head in reply, “I had no idea." Mark turned to his guard with the most scary figure which his sinew muscles explicitly showed under his suit. “Make sure he is paid his wages before the hiring and firing department looks into his matter . He nodded subserviently, "Alright Boss.” "Take him away," Mark commanded. His guards pulled Jimmy away as he never fell short of pleading and calling on Sophia and Mark to forgive him. But all his pleas and cries all fell on deaf ears. After Jimmy was taken away and the noise had died down, Mark turned to Sophia as he stared at her with passion, “It's okay," he said gently in a doting tone. He didn't bother to know what happened, all he knew was Jimmy was working in the company and he never knew his relat

A black sleek Bentley pulled in front of the towering building. Gradually, The card door opened and Sophia stepped down from the car she casually shut the door with a slight thud, her face indifferent and a smile tugging at her lips.Taking her time as she leaned at the car, she clutched her purse in her left hand and her slightly cringed face focused on the phone screen in her hand as she silently went through the content on it. The white haute couture gown with spaghetti straps fit her so perfectly revealing her cleavage as the dress pushed up her breasts. Her brown eyes flashed with a tinge of brightness accentuating her beautiful face and her aura couldn't be ignored. Sophia got a message from Mark immediately after she got out of the car. [Good morning Sophie…Sorry, I couldn't come with you to your company but I am on my way. I will be with you in a jiffy.Love ya!]The smile on Sophia’s face broadened as she grinned uncontrollably, her hand adorably placed at her chest as h

Damian lounged on the couch in his chilly sitting room. His eyes drooped and his hair was disheveled from the constant ruffling of it. He sighed in frustration then his heart continued to rise and fall as he breathed. His heavy breath filled the air.His faded eyes darted around in the spacious room languidly, his heart restless as he yawned to get the answer to the one thing that troubled his heart. He had gone to broadcasting stations, live shows, newspapers, and magazines yet none of them couldn't give him a positive result after the publication he made at the various places. Even though he was frustrated, and had been having sleepless nights all night, he never backed down in searching and sending Authur to keep on investigating and gathering information. He still went further, telling Authur to get experienced people no matter the cost just to get him positive and heart-relieving news. “I don't care how much it will cost me or how long it will take me. All I know is I am going

Damian sat in his office, his indifferent face locked on the laptop as he carefully scrolled through the screen. One thing troubled his mind. The last time he visited Sophia, he was to go on a vacation the next day. He asked her to come with him but Sophia refused. However, before that, he had offered the keys to the Cool Maybach limited edition he bought for her. He further went on to pronounce he was willing to let her be the CEO of Trilix, His company Sophia worked in as the Head of the M.O group. “Damian you are unbelievable! just because I was kind enough to give you food to eat you think I had forgiven you?" Sophia spat out” His face became pale as Sophia’s words from that day replayed in his head. He froze staring blankly at the laptop screen as the thought of her actions that day clogged his heart in heavy emotions. Since he brought up the topic thinking things would be right instead things went south and Sophia scolded him and drove him curtly from her house.‘I should h

Damian stood in front of the door, his hand grabbing his waist as he sighed in frustration, his faded gaze staring at the door. He had been standing there for more than thirty minutes since he arrived. He knocked countless times but no reply came from within. He sighed in frustration, cringing his head, ‘Could it be that she doesn't want to see me again?’ He mused. He raised his head, “I know she is in there," he muttered, his finger pointing at the door then back grabbing his waist. Authur, who stood beside him after listening to what he said after a while said, “I don't think so Boss," he uttered calmly with a lace of concern in his voice. Damian turned to Authur hastily, his face turned red, “Then where is she?" He barked, "What did she want me to do before she can soften down a bit?” Authur stood like a servant before the king as he listened to Damian’s outburst having no words to say. Indeed it was heart-wrenching when all Damian’s efforts yielded fruitless results. No matt

Damian only blinked and rolled his eyes around the room uncontrollably. He stared at her in his heaviness of heart not having the guts to utter a word since his heart was clogged with emotions and his throat tightened with a knot. “How?" Sophia screamed, this time more loudly, her voice resonating in the whole room and to more than just the room they were in. Damian only stared blankly at her in reply. The emotions and shame rained on him this time more than ever which made his knees fade away as they went weak. Sophia scrutinized his face, her brow creased as she glared at him, and her eyebrows which rigid slightly trembling. “Even after all the nonsense….” Her finger pointed stiffly at Damian, "You still have the guts to treat me like I am a prisoner under your custody like you always wanted” She barked, her fingers pointing back at her chest as her heart throbbed with pain the most.Awkward silence stealthily swope over the atmosphere as Damian’s lips were sealed. Seeing that Da

Sophia stood in front of the wide mirror, her brown eyes frowning back at her from the mirror as her sullen face from the mirror etched with emotions. frowning at herself one more time from the mirror she adjusted the round neck of the black gown she wore, the sternness of her face surging on. When she was done with applying a red lipstick on her lips she turned and strutted to the bed, her clicking stilettos on the cold tires taking over the silence atmosphere in the room. She perched on the edge of the bed, her hand grasping her purse and she flung it open, her hand tucked in it simultaneously with her gaze searching for something. The calm sound filled her ears like a wall clock ticking as someone knocked on the door. Sophia's frowning gaze starred in that direction and the intensity of her glaring gaze reached a higher climax in the blink of an eye. Her eyelids knitted together and her lips pinned together in a straight line as her heart throbbed with anger. Her heart tightened
